MONTREAL — Police are looking to the public for help after 2,000 pairs of brand new CCM Tacks ice skates were stolen from a container.

The skates, which were en route to local sports equipment stores, are valued between $200 and $800 per pair.

“Three containers left Vancouver on June 17,” said Bernard Cote, a spokesman for CCM. “Two containers arrived, and the third was declared stolen. It was then found in Montreal, but was completely empty.”

The CCM Tacks are a hot commodity, and are sought after by skaters. This is the first new model of Tacks to hit the market since 2004.

The skates are set to go on sale on July 18.

“We think that the people who stole the skates plan to sell them on the black market,” Cote told QMI Agency.
